WARRINGTON, D. o., Dec. 5.-When
the Senate met thore were only a few who
knew what was to happen in the West
Virginia case. The lew knew that after
the Senators began to aseemble change
was made in tho situation. Tho Republi.
cans gave kenna and some other Demo.

tried sfterwards. They wanted the case

Democrats agreed finally, aud did not

asssnted aa per agreement. ~
There is no desire among Republicans
to delay the admission. Judge Faulkner
himself believes this and expects
To De SEATED INA WEEK.
But Republicans say !h.t with the Lu-
css protest staring them In the face and
raising question at least worth looking
into, they wors net prepared to agree to
Faulkner being seated. |Ths.e is also a
feeling among them that question OF fair
play is involved, which ha, escaped tbs
notice o. Democratic Senators, who form
ally kicked Lucas out Of court. This
action 1aa tstsn on the Recommendation
OF the caucus subcommittee, Eustie, Vest
Pugh, Harris and Blackburn.
From this Recommendation there waa

Mr.. JACKSON, Nov. 81, 1Ss7

To the Editor Of the Herald
If the party managers in this county. Of
both political parties, would enter into an
agreement to use all their influence
against fraud and bribery, and pledge
their honor and responsibility, to use
nothing but honest. inst and fair argn-
ments, and not take advantage of the
poor mans dependent situation to intimi-
date and bride, it would do more good,
ten to one, than to resort to law, which
will put the commonwealth to heavy
expense and may be the cause of mucL
strife and bitter feeling-and end in no
good.
can not think that any one will object
to signing an agreement to that effect
and If there should be, have only to say
that that person lacks honesty or proper
reflection; he will have no reason to make
light of the proposition because of it'
source, neither will he expand his dignity
by so doing; he will have no reason tc
object on the ground that he has never
been guilty of bribery nor intimidation
but if he signs it it will show him to be
manly in helping TO put down one of the
most shameful ard greatest evils Of the
day.
Every mans size will be indicated who
refuses to sign IT., for 1T is not posi-
bic it will do any harm, and
may do a great deal of good. Don't say
there is no use in trying to stop it in this
/ county because it is, and will be done
everywhere else. Please DO not refuse
because you have been accused or sus
pected, thinking signing will be evidence
of guilt; please don't refuse for the rea
son that you have boldly declared thai
you have bribed more than one voter ant
did not fear the law, or on the grounC
that IL would impair your importance ant
dignity. Some men have had their digni
~ taken down IN Jail by that kind O
pOmp. hope there will be none TO TAXI
offence even if the "shoe fits" for 1t is o
much Importance that all should joiI
friendly together regardless of by-gone
and do their best to stop the degradation
Of our county. Bribery and intimidation
has gotten to be so respectable that 1t Il
making great effort TO get on top. and
IN some places, it has got there. Can /
not be stoppedi Why should the peopl
of the county see all this corruption an'
stand backi The answer Isl both Of TN
political parties are guilty and neithe
will undertake to throw the first stone
Such being the case it is very importan
that by-gones should be by-gones. lie
the press pitch in, regardless Of party
and encourage an agreement between tn
two parties and let us see which will d
the most let the chairman Of each part,
sign the agreement and let each have
copy Of the same for the purpose of get
ting any and all signatures he can fror
either party. j. II. >.

Harrisonburg, our lively sister city,
must have mighty one horse kind of a
Jail, or q very desperate and reckless class
Of criminals Any way, its hard job to
keep them in where they rightfully
belong, and every few months we hear of
a single prisoner or n gang Of them max
ing what is pretty generally a successful
strike for liberty. The last gentleman to
leave was one who rejoices in having for
his front name the classic one of Anthony,
a relative probably Of the well-known
Mark. as Rockingham, is big state from
way back, who raised such a ruction in
Egypt a few hundred years ago, in which
be was ably assisted, of course, by a
young lady, well-known as Cleopatra.
Bnt the behind name Of this chap don't
hold good, it being a very common thing
called Rapp. Now, if some stout fellow
will take a club and give him a liberal
application Of his last name over his head,
IL may save all future trouble. just tear
down your old jail and pen your prisoners
no in the the Harrsonburg water works
for safe keeling, they will never get away
then.
